1956 Buick Centurion Show Car

Quote:
A spectacular four-passenger coupe with a fiberglass body and an all-glass top, the red and white Centurion dream car was equipped with a television camera mounted in the trunk. A receiver on the instrument panel displayed images from the camera, thereby rendering the rearview mirror obsolete, although it was never shown to be functional. The camera was mounted in a tailcone inspired by a jet fighter, a recurring theme in concept cars of the ’50s. A 325-hp V-8 engine provided thrust. It Had Bucket Seats Before Bucket Seats Were A Feature. Centurion is now owned by Sloan Museum.

No, it's not...but if you go through the photos on BaT, this is one of many items that are not correct for the 70 model year.

One model year only. Not a Fairlane nor a Torino. A Cobra. Ford's answer to the Road Runner
